Colour code 636 is the third red of the Eike family — plus the sportiest: a warm fire red full of energy, looking like movement, working at the football pitch just as well as on winter walks. The brushed sweat carries 245 gsm of warmth, its raised inside keeping wind out, while crosswise stretch follows every move. White plus dark blue are classic sports partners; grey melange beside it builds the timeless training look. Comparing all three Eike reds: 637 celebrates Christmas, 638 stays elegant — 636 wants outdoors.
What Eike Rot is suitable for
- Hoodies
- Joggers
- Sweat jackets
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen. Angerauter Sweat läuft stärker ein als Jersey
- Stretch- oder Jerseynadel in Stärke 80 bis 90, der Stoff ist dicker als Jersey.
- Overlock oder elastischer Stich. Die angeraute Innenseite fusselt an den Kanten, Schnittkanten deshalb versäubern.
- Bei mehreren Lagen, etwa an Kapuze und Taschen, Nähfußdruck verringern oder Obertransportfuß nutzen, damit nichts verschiebt.
- Säume und Abschlüsse mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode statt mit Umschlag, das trägt weniger auf.
- Links bügeln, niedrige Temperatur, die angeraute Seite nicht direkt bügeln.
- Fadenlauf beachten: die Dehnung läuft quer, für Hoodies und Hosen um den Körper legen.

Frequently asked questions
What is brushed sweat fabric best used for?
Brushed sweat is the classic choice when sewing hoodies, sweat jackets, joggers or warm children's clothing. The softly brushed inside keeps you noticeably warm, making Eike the go-to fabric in autumn or winter projects that should be comfy yet durable.
How stretchy is this fabric containing 5 % elastane?
The elastane content gives this sweat a pleasant crosswise stretch without bagging out. Cuffs, hoods plus sleeves keep their shape, so finished garments stay comfortable through many washes — especially important in trousers or children's clothing.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash this sweat at 30 degrees inside out in a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer. Pre-wash before cutting: brushed sweat shrinks more than jersey, so allow up to 5 % shrinkage in your fabric calculation.
How does Eike differ from summer sweat?
Eike is smooth outside, softly brushed inside — noticeably warmer than summer sweat. At 245 gsm it carries real substance, which makes it the right choice through autumn plus winter, while summer sweat is a lighter fabric.
